Frightening

In the past week, I've had one teenager spit on me (accidentally, but still), another hide in the stall of a girl's bathroom to avoid going to class, another all but scream "Did you fart?" in the middle of a crowded classroom quietly working, and still another slam a desk into the hamstrings of a female classmate just for fun. All of the above are older than the subject of this article, a 13-year-old Brit marking the birth of his firstborn child.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa.

Background: my wife taught in Mexico City for a year.

More background: my wife and I are products of the New York City public school system.

Upshot: we would be deeply appreciative of more information about your experiences teaching in Coahuila.

I've been to Torreon, but I clearly need to go again, in more depth.
